#6I remember reading about this on Twitter because of a reply from h2o.ai account.

The person was originally employed at h2o.ai and as a consequence of this was fired. Not sure if that was completely appropriate.
Wasn't this a personal participation? Or are there "company teams" on Kaggle ?

There is and it's very effective ... A company I worked in briefly used to have this badge system to honor people that go the extra mile at work, and people were very keen on getting those even though it didn't have any financial compensation behind it
